Tower Bridge in Sacramento, CA (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Christmas draws near, which means work is crazy busy. However, each day I check something else off the to do list. The last few days: Christmas baskets filled and delivered to our senior housing and home visits done! Sunday: children’s Christmas program. Tuesday: Christmas Eve.

So what follows a busy Christmas season for a minister? VACATION. Providing I don’t get snowed out of Denver airport, on Dec 30, I fly to Sacramento, CA. I have friends there and in the Bay Area.

But first, My son will be here for a week or so. We have a few adventures planned, maybe a trial run in the kayak!

The birds are chowing down all the food outside and I may have a sparrow hawk who visits the suet. He would not turn around so I never saw his face.

All is well in Wheatland. Merry Christmas to all! May joy, love, peace and compassion fill our hearts!
